While sitting on the bed, Yasenia was constantly spreading her spiritual sense around her. She could feel the presence of some people walking outside, but that didn’t really matter to her. Her spiritual sense could cover the entire city, and she had already checked for clues of what to do next. Not finding anything, she thought that this second part of the trial wouldn’t start until all the platforms were used.
Her spiritual sense was sharp, so not everyone could match or even detect it. There were too many auras mixed to single out only hers. ‘Still, I can sense a few people looking into my room. Should I create a quick concealing formation?’
With her current level, anyone willing to spy on her would easily break her formations. Therefore, she eventually chose not to do anything and allow them to spy as they pleased. Of course, she also made sure to remember the auras and scents of those looking at her. ‘If I have the chance later…’
It was around three hours after she arrived that she heard someone knocking on her door. Her eyes slowly opened, and her nose twitched twice. ‘...It’s one of the people peeking at me.’
After thinking for a few moments, she took out Draheart and a defensive talisman. Then, she spoke up. “Open the door and state your identity.”
“Oh my~, so dangerous.” The Divine grinned, not afraid at all.
The dragoness squinted and then sighed. Her tail didn’t relax, though. “Why are you like this, Senior? Is skinship so natural amongst Divines?”
“If we like the other party, it is~.” The blue-winged Divine smiled deeply. “I just find you so… attractive. Even when we are both female, I feel as if mating with you would create extremely powerful progeny. Why? Are you secretly a male, little dragon?”
Yasenia was not surprised. The reason many females were attracted to her, other than her appearance, was her powerful Yang aura. In terms of presence, her body embodied both extremes, creating an extremely attractive aura.
“You must be mistaken, Senior. Still, I would recommend not trying to mate with me. I already have a Soulmate.”
The woman’s excited face diminished as disappointment flashed in her eyes. “...Already? You are so young, and you already linked yourself with another beast?”
Yasenia looked at the woman straddling her. ‘Her reactions don’t feel or look like acting. Did she really fall for me?’
She didn’t discard the possibility. After all, she also fell quickly for her lovers. Of course, she was purposely searching for lovers back then, and she had a mortal perception of time and relationships. “Senior, please get off me. I am in a relationship that I don’t want to betray.”
‘If she doesn’t get down… I’ll have to show forceful means next.’
The Divine sighed deeply, her ocean-like eyes showing sadness. “That’s a shame…” Then, she rolled to the side and used Yasenia’s arm as a pillow. Yasenia’s eyebrows momentarily furrowed, but she didn’t react. Her tail tip was still in position to attack the Dantian area.
After five minutes of silence, Yasenia checked her surroundings and noticed that the number of people peeking at them had disappeared entirely. ‘Hm? Did she do something? Speaking of which… I still don’t know her name.’
“...Senior, what is your name?”
“Lataria.” The woman answered faintly, her tone somewhat sad.
Yasenia felt strange. ‘Is she that depressed that I already have a mate?’ Her head turned to the side and she noticed that Lataria was looking at her face.
“...Um. That’s a pretty name.”
“Pretty enough to give up your mate and be with me?”
Yasenia started sweating. ‘This woman… Is she serious?’
“N-Not that beautiful, no.”
Lataria sighed. “Then it’s a useless name.”
‘Is there a part of Divine culture that I am missing? Or is this woman just… strange?
“So… Senior Lataria, do you know anything about this second trial?”
“Yes…” Lataria lamented. “I know that I won’t be able to get the Beautiful and Mature Dragon Girl Big Sister.”
A hint of strangeness flashed in Yasenia’s heart as the way this woman spoke reminded her of someone else. Someone she dealt with a long time ago. Pushing down the strangeness, Yasenia spoke again, carefully. “Um… Anything else?”
“Yes…” Her answer this time was like a sigh full of despair. “I won’t be able to put my face between your glorious peaks and brrrrr my head from side to side. I mean, look how they deform when you are on your back. They look so huge and soft… Hey, can I? I swear I won’t do anything strange.”
“...Is Senior Lataria a pervert?” Yasenia paused, her lips twitching. “Ah. Sorry, that escaped me. I didn’t mean it.”
Lataria showed a surprised expression before bursting into laughter. “That came from the soul. Hahaha. You are so cute for being the mature-type character! Hey, can I scratch your chin like before? I really loved the face you made back then~.”
Yasenia’s eyebrows trembled a few times as she caught the misbehaving hand. ‘If I weren’t slightly biased towards female sexual harassment, I would’ve probably cleaved her in half.’
Seeing Yasenia resisting, Lataria sighed dramatically once again. Then, she sat up with a small jump and smiled. “Hey. Let’s be partners until these events end. I swear I won’t betray you.”
Yasenia felt strange. Not because her words didn’t sound trustworthy, but because the feeling was the complete opposite. It really felt like this woman wouldn’t betray her as long as there wasn’t a conflict of interest.
After thinking for a moment, Yasenia pushed her upper body up with her tail and also sat up. The motion sent her watermelons into a jiggling motion that Lataria leered at openly.
“Alright. We can team up. However, Senior Lataria, try not to flirt with me too often. I am a bit sensitive about it, and if I lose my patience, I might react violently.”
Yasenia had already felt a few surges of irritation in her heart, most likely because her pregnancy made her somewhat sensitive. Still, they were just faint urges that she could easily control. She couldn’t promise the same calmness if the teasing continued, though.
Lataria was happy and screamed. “Ah! That’s great! Can I hug you? Let me hug youuu!”
Yasenia pressed her hand against the forehead of the Divine extending her hands towards her. “If you were normal, I would. But you just want to hug me to feel my body, so no.”
“Tsk. You are a miser.”
Yasenia sighed and stood up from the bed, letting the woman’s weight push her where she had previously been lying. “Hm… We should go outside. After so long, there has been no movement in the trial. Perhaps it needs to be triggered by… us…?”
Looking back, she saw the Divine’s wings fluttering as she greedily inhaled the place where she had been lying a moment ago. “Ahhn~, you smell so niceee. Mature, motherly types smell like flowerssss!”
“...Lataria.”
The low, threatening tone brought chills down Lataria’s spine. Looking back at Yasenia’s cold eyes, she gulped and smiled nervously. “Y-Yes?”
Yasenia leaned down, her softness hanging like a ripe fruit ready to pluck. But Lataria didn’t have the leisure to relish in that sight. “I don’t mind playful banter. But the second you dare cross the line, I won’t be merciful. I hope you have not forgotten that I am a Dragon.”
Yasenia’s cold, golden slit eyes and chilling aura made this powerful Divine feel a chill down her back. ‘This killing intent… She is the real deal.’
Therefore, she nodded like a pecking chicken. “Okay, okay, okay. I won’t cross the line. But let me be silly, okay? I promise that I won’t do anything that goes over the line without your permission.”
Yasenia saw honesty in her gaze and felt somewhat helpless. ‘There is a strange innocence in her perversion… Or is it because these types of perverts remind me of Evelyn that I am more lenient? Honest perverts… Sigh, they are quite difficult to deal with when there is no malice behind it.’
After singing once, she straightened her back and nodded. “Alright, let’s go out.”
Lataria jumped from the bed and nodded, her gaze following the swaying motion of Yasenia’s greatness. “...Dragons are really unfair in this world.”
Yasenia asked back, curious. “Are there more slender Dragons in other worlds?”
Lataria answered with a cheerful smile. “Yeah! It’s a very far-away world, though. Hehe.”
“I see.”
Lataria frowned a bit. “Hey… Now that I look at you… Isn’t your personality too different from the first time we met? You were like an innocent and adorable junior back then.”
They were walking down the stairs when she asked that. Yasenia raised her eyebrow and smirked slightly. “You took a while to realize. I just thought that acting cute would make you easier to coddle. I guess I was right.”
“Argh!” Lataria clutched her heart. “The cute but mature, motherly big sister type deceived me!”
“... Is it me, or are you adding more adjectives to that strange categorizing that you are doing?”
Lataria chuckled and didn’t answer, so Yasenia just let her be.
